I’m not even totally opposed to the message, some of that advertising was way, WAY more cringe than it was enjoyable. I particularly dislike the modern trend of ugly brown women being shoved down our throats.
BUT these guys snap me out of that with their faggy “uh actually women can be SUPER badass and do anything men can - “
Shut up you boomernig, women aren’t ‘kickass’, praising them when they do a mediocre imitation of a man dishonors true excellence in womanhood. I really hate this shit, because men like this program their daughters to play dress-up and imitate the douchebag jocks from media as if that’s what a strong woman is.
Strength in womanhood is maternal, it’s unyielding in her efforts to protect and nurture her family. It’s NOTHING like this shit about how girls can shoot 3-gun just as good as the boys can, to even hint they’re similar in value is revolting to me.

Either way, Avatar had every single version of the mentor character possible, including a mentor who's skill is completely gone, Insane mentor and a mentor who will burn your fucking face off....
So, I don't consider age to be a factor, especially if the mentor is in fact fully capable to tech, and on top of her game.

Sorry, I don't see it.

I don't think making the mentor sexy counts as a subversion though.
I had an interesting conversation with Sis about Lovecraftian horror
More importantly, about why it fails so monumentally in modern movies. And, after a while, we have reached the conclusion, that the element of it being beyond your understanding is completely undermined if you know the hero is safe.
While in normal capeshit, even if you know the hero is going to win, you can imagine scenarios of how its going to happen. You can feel every hit he recieves or gives. There is a story there.
But, if the enemy beyond your comprehension, then story turns to "hero did ....something???? and won
" So, there is literally no substance left for you to enjoy.

I just love the "oh shit, they were right" phase, that sometimes comes 10 years later.

Half of them could have been without payload, and noone could tell the difference.
